Lunch with Hon Mike Rann - Chairman, Low Carbon Australia
Parmelia Hilton Hotel, Mill Street, Perth, Western Australia - Thursday, 12 July 2012 from 12 noon to 2:30pm 
The Sustainable Energy Association of Australia cordially invites you to lunch with the Chairman of Low Carbon Australia, the Hon Mike Rann.
Mike Rann, former Premier of South Australia, was Australia's - and one of the world's - first Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change. His ten years as Premier saw major transformation of the South Australian economy and significant diversification into renewable energy. Today, 26% of South Australia's electricity comes from wind and the State leads in domestic solar take up. Voluntary sector agreements to reduce emissions were pursued with a variety of industries and organisations.
Mr Rann has recently become Chairman of Low Carbon Australia (LCAL), established by the Australian Government in 2010 with initial funding of $100 million. LCAL provides innovative finance for business to fund energy efficiency improvements as part of the transition to a low carbon economy. Low Carbon Australia works with financial institutions to leverage private funds and finances eligible businesses for the upgrading of commercial buildings, industrial plant and premises and distributed generation projects.
Mr Rann attended Rio+20 where he chaired The Climate Group's States and Regions meeting. He will be sharing with us some of the global perspectives and latest developments from the summit.
